We had a truly unforgettable stay at this boutique hotel in Crete. The stunning architecture and luxurious atmosphere made for a wonderful backdrop to our family holiday. The kids club was a lifesaver for parents like us, while the dining options exceeded our expectations. However, some aspects, such as noisy evenings and minor service hiccups, slightly detracted from the overall experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beautiful hotel, where the attentive staff and stunning beach made for a memorable vacation. The luxurious accommodations were spacious and well-maintained, though I found the entertainment options lacking and the hotel quite isolated from local culture. Dining was delightful, though a bit more traditional Greek cuisine would have been appreciated.

This hotel is a true gem, offering an exceptional level of service and luxurious accommodation. The attention to detail in both the staff's friendliness and the hotel's facilities created a welcoming environment. The dining experience, particularly at breakfast, was a highlight with numerous delicious options. The only drawback is the distance from town, which may not be ideal for those looking to explore nearby restaurants without using a taxi.

The Grecotel Amerandies offers a stylish and relaxing stay along the beautiful beach, with attentive service that enhances the overall experience. My swim-up room was clean and beautifully designed, though a bit small for a family. The dining options, while good, left me wanting more variety especially during themed nights. Despite some areas needing improvement, the overall atmosphere and activities made for a memorable holiday.
